FYI - the auction room is far more functional if you reduce your browser size to about 80%.

Pineda, grab a 20 minute power nap prior to the draft and you'll be fine. Just don't drink any of Lord Alfred Hayes' home brew

So, 7 of the 12 owners are in favor of the 24 hour trade approval period, so the motion passes

In favor of 24 hrs.

Hah! I am definitely in favor of 24 hours.

yes on 24 hour, i dont need to buy drinks, i make my own beer, so anyone close to chicago, milwaukee. or green bay can get some freebies from me
-
I'm in favor of the 24 hour time for pending trades to go through
-
1) in favor of 24hours 2) i agree on no required nomination, I just hope I don't fall asleep at some point since we are starting at 1am local time...

Yes on 24H

(3) It appears that Lord Alfred has also proposed a motion requiring all managers to have at least two drinks in our system before the draft begins. This seems like a good idea, particularly because it will most severely impair the judgment of managers who have lots of time to do research every day after school and weigh less than 100 pounds. Fair is fair. (Also, I assume if the motion passes, Lord Alfred Hayes is buying everyone two drinks.)
-
If an owner continuously misses nominating a player or shows a non-participating pattern when it's their turn to nominate a player, and I'm sure the other owners will not hesitate to point out such behavior, and you did not contact me in a timely manner because of some technological issue you may be having, you will be booted from the draft.

(1) I'm in favor of the 24-hour trade approval window. (2) Good call on skipping the required nomination rule for the auction. Someone may be away from the computer when their turn comes up, but if it happens more than once or twice, that's probably a sign of someone not participating, or not participating fairly.
-
Furthermore, because we are bound by technology in conducting the auction draft, if anyone experiences any glitches, whether it is the OTTONEU website or internet provider or their computer or tablet or smart phone, you need to let me know ASAP. I will email all with my email addresses and phone number on Friday so you can contact me if you are having trouble during the draft.

I am not going to activate the required nomination rule for the draft. However, if an owner misses nominating a player twice he or she will be warned. This is to insure owners are not sitting back and waiting for the other owners to deplete their salary cap or available roster spots. Let's play fair and enjoy the process on a level playing field (pun intended) and I don't believe we will have any issues.

There is a motion on the table, (authored by Bryce) to reduce the trade approval period from 48 hours to 24 hours. Please respond via the message board and let me know if you are in favor of the motion or not. Majority consensus will determine the trade approval time.

Hey commish, there is a new setting available that allows you to decrease the trade approval time from 48 hours to 24 hours. I'm in favor.

Welcome aboard Pineda, I will set you up so you can make one round of penalty free cuts. And the answer to your question re: the auction draft is yes and yes. Good luck this season.

Welcome Pineda

Hi everyone, i just claimed yeah, jeets. I had a new year resolution of cutting the number of leagues i was playing in but Judge got me. I am going to review the roster and make the cuts as soon as possible, one quick question: is the draft day and hour already set for February 10th?
Bullpen Beers on
February 3, 2018 5:44 AM

Clearly, Jeets took a new job this offseason...
-
What a piece of crap
-
Jeets has been abandoned, I'm sure we will get an owner soon.
Pine Tar Rags on
February 2, 2018 9:25 PM
-
Yup. It is up to the Commish but I think that if he still hasn't responded, it might be time to find a new owner.
Dem Bums on
February 2, 2018 9:01 PM

Yeah just abandon it and once team is claimed, allow new owner to make a single round of cuts.
LIMA.STS on
February 2, 2018 1:52 PM

Usually new owners claiming an abandoned team get 1 round of penalty free cuts, since they are inheriting a roster where they may not want all the players (and in this case it's out of compliance with the rules so cuts have to be made).
-
It would be nice to have an active owner taking over in Yeah Jeets place. How will they be able to drop their players? Will the league have another opportunity to drop players?
Dem Bums on
February 2, 2018 8:04 AM

I have not gotten a reply from Jeets, I'm inclined to abandon his ownership so we can find an active owner. Anyone have objections to this?
Pine Tar Rags on
February 1, 2018 9:18 PM
-
in this instance , Commisioner should be at his own discretion in removing what he deems as probable cuts . I trust impartiality and reason will be used
-
As of right now Jeets is under the cap limit but his roster has 42 players. So the best case scenario would be for him to cut 2 players, which will also prevent him from participating in the draft.
Pine Tar Rags on
February 1, 2018 8:51 AM
-
In response to Bryce's comment, if Jeets has a bona fide reason, I would suggest that the minimum number of players and monies be cut from his team to meet team roster number and cap limit at the Commissioner's discretion.
Pine Tar Rags on
February 1, 2018 8:47 AM
-
I think it means he/she doesn't participate in the auction. Maybe commish can get in touch and see what the deal is? I'm fine with allowing a few post-deadline drops just to get the roster legal.

In another league I'm in, the commissioner said he would boot anyone who didn't meet team requirements as outlined in the league rules. Quite frankly I feel the same way. The other owners in this league have met their obligation to abide by the rules. Unless he has a bona fide, concrete reason for not meeting the team requirements by the deadline, I believe he should be booted from the league. I will send him an email and you will all receive a copy of it. We only have nine days until the draft.
